I'm reading this and only seem to be getting our resident Bewitched fan's usual veiled politcal opinions. Sure, talk about the overuse of the Party Political Broadcasts but don't use the same thread to take side-swipes at any party which you take a dislike to.

I love these but is there any need to repeat them 6 times in one night tho?

So far....

Labour 0/10
Conservative 7/10

Where are they on 6 times a night?

That is across many different channels though, so you arn't going to see all 6 showings.

interesting to note that this evenings conservative broadcast on central seemed to be a regional version (although i was only half paying attention, so i could be mistaken). have only seen labour do regionalised broadcasts in the past. i presume bbc one just showed a national version as opposed to the regional versions?

also, at the end of yesterdays labour broadcast on bbc one they pointed out the fact viewers could catch the broadcast again at 6.25 on bbc two and itv. if they had done the same on itv, ie pointing viewers to a repeat showing on a rival channel including times, would it break the ofcom rule about not being able to use times when trailing programmes on rival channels?

They were advertising the next installment of the 'story' wern't they? And yes they did advertise the showings on BBC1, BBC2 & ITV1 on the ITV1 showing

I don't think there are elections here - in fact my parents can't remember the last time we had a local election!


Nope BBC Two Wales has had lots of editions of The Witness recently Smile

Since when has this been a political forum?


Its not, but I did really want to know the 'repeat' question I asked and its still something on TV that never had a thread before.

If they did, they were wrong. The PEBs are at 1755 on BBC TWO.

They should only be allowed to be shown twice. Right in the middle of Cornation Street and after Newsnight.

They would reach and be viewed by nearly every house in the UK then, both audiences groups will see them.

The logic in this escapes me.

More a question of who it doesn't escape.

Your seriously suggesting that you can incapulate the entire British viewing audience after 2 programmes?

The middle of coranation Street and your hitting the biggest audience you can with it, and Newsnight is where you would get the 'Alternative' style' viewer who may actully have more of an interest in politics.

I thought they said "Thursday" which would be the Liberal Democrat's PPB.
